Sunoy was mesmerized by the story. After a long while, he seemed to wake up from his long thoughts. Blinking his eyes full of curiosity, he asked, "Why did the ancients know this? Did they climb it too?"
Su Le smiled and gently stroked her head, his movements as gentle as a spring breeze. His voice was as soft as the gurgling of a stream. "I don't know whether they climbed it or not, but this statement shows that the ancients were deeply aware of the towering height of Beitai Yedou Peak. Look, this mountain is so majestic, rising straight into the sky, its peak seems to touch the sky. The ancients used such exaggerated yet vivid descriptions to fully demonstrate their amazement and admiration for the height of Beitai Yedou Peak."
Su Nuoyi nodded thoughtfully, his bright eyes gleaming with thought. He asked curiously, "Did the ancients always speak so concisely?"
"Yes. Just a few numbers contain rich meanings." Su Le nodded firmly, his eyes revealing deep admiration for the wisdom of the ancients.
Li Xueyao happily pulled Su Nuoyi to stand by the side, looking down excitedly, her rosy little face full of excitement and surprise, and shouted: "Sister Yi Yi, look, it's really high. There are clouds everywhere, as if we are in the sky." Her voice was as clear as a bell, echoing among the empty mountains.
Li Zichen, on the other hand, looked nervous and hurriedly pulled them back a few steps. His expression was solemn, his brows furrowed, and he said anxiously and firmly, "Just watch from here. It's too dangerous to get too close."
"I understand, Dad." Li Xueyao nodded obediently, her excitement subsiding a little. She hadn't realized she was on the edge, and now, with some lingering fear, she pulled Su Nuoyi back a few steps, cold sweat breaking out on her palms.
Xu Jiaojiao held onto the railing and looked down, her whole body trembling. At that moment, she seemed to be shocked by the bottomless height. She couldn't help but exclaimed, "It's so high." As she spoke, she unconsciously leaned towards Su Le, holding her hand tightly, as if only in this way could she get more sense of security from Su Le. Her slightly trembling body revealed her inner fear.
Su Le looked at her slightly panicked expression and couldn't help but laugh and joked, "You weren't afraid when you climbed up here, but you are scared now."
"Who's scared?" Xu Jiaojiao straightened her body stubbornly, pretending to be calm as she took a small step back, but her slightly trembling voice still revealed her true feelings.
Su Le stopped exposing her and instead gently took her arm, his gesture full of care and consideration. He waved to the children and said affectionately, "Come, let's go in and take a look."
Several children cheered and ran to her side, like a flock of happy birds. The six of them began to wander freely through the temple, their figures weaving in and out between the ancient buildings. The sunlight cast long shadows on them.
Just as they were about to descend the mountain, a group of people ascending nearby caught their attention. They saw a group of young people climbing up, chatting and laughing. They carried large backpacks and held trekking poles, full of energy. One young man would stop from time to time to admire the surrounding scenery, constantly exclaiming, "This scenery is amazing! I'm sure it will make a great article when I get back."
There was also an elderly couple, supporting each other, walking up steadily step by step. The grandfather was panting, but his eyes were full of determination. He said to the grandmother beside him: "My dear, let's walk slowly, we will definitely make it up." The grandmother smiled and nodded, wiping the sweat from the grandfather's forehead.
A professional mountaineering team also appeared in their sight. The members were dressed in uniform and moved swiftly and skillfully. The team leader shouted encouragement from the front: "Come on, everyone, keep up the pace. We will soon reach a rest stop."
Looking at these people going up the mountain, some are full of passion, some are determined and persistent, and some support each other, adding more vitality and vigor to Beitai Yedou Peak.
Then, Su Le and the others began to descend the mountain. Xu Jiaojiao, with a look of pain on her face and a frown on her face, complained to Su Le beside her, "My thighs really hurt from going down this mountain."
Su Le smiled and said, "That's because you haven't exercised enough. Pay attention to your balance, you can go faster, follow the speed of gravity, and don't resist too much." There was encouragement and guidance in her voice.
Xu Jiaojiao listened to Su Le's words and tried to adjust her pace. It was a little awkward at first, but she soon caught up with the other children. Surprisingly, the pain in her thigh also eased slightly.
"Le Le, let's not climb the mountain next time!" Xu Jiaojiao shouted at Su Le, her voice full of determination, and she looked as if she was making a vow.
The villagers who were going up the mountain nearby looked at them and couldn't help laughing. Their laughter was hearty and friendly, echoing in the mountains, as if adding a different kind of liveliness to the quiet mountains.
Su Le shook his head slightly and said, "Many beautiful views are in the mountains. Climbing mountains can be a good way to exercise your body." Xu Jiaojiao stopped talking and silently followed the little ones. They were moving very fast, one step at a time, as if they were running, full of energy and vitality.
Standing on a flat platform, Su Le took out a bottle of spiritual spring water and handed it to Xu Jiaojiao. The bottle shone brightly in the sunlight. Several children's cups were already filled with the spiritual spring water, and the clear water reflected their rosy faces. Everyone drank the water in big gulps, and the sound of their throats rolling rose and fell, as if the cool spiritual spring water could instantly dispel all fatigue.
After a short rest, everyone continued to descend. When they reached the bottom of the mountain, Xu Jiaojiao no longer cared about her appearance and sat down on the last step, shouting, "I need to rest for a while. I'm so tired." Her voice was full of fatigue and helplessness.
Su Le thought about their lack of exercise and thought about building a gym for them to exercise. He immediately took out a notebook and wrote it down carefully. His focused expression seemed to be painting a beautiful blueprint.
Su Nuoyi was still fanning Xu Jiaojiao and said sensibly, "Mom, why don't we go back to bed?" Her little hands kept waving, bringing a hint of cool breeze.
Xu Jiaojiao nodded vigorously and said weakly, "Let's eat something first and then go back to sleep. I need a day off tomorrow. If you want to go out and play, just follow your aunt and the others." She could feel that her legs would be so sore tomorrow that she would hardly be able to move.
